What if AI was used to distribute work instead of doing the work?

This is just a random thought on my part, but it feels like it could be an interesting and new way of thinking about AI's impact on our future.

Obviously AI will continue to get better at doing work. But what if we started leveraging AI to distribute the work.

For example, in any relatively complex situation you need coordination and a clear understanding of responsibilities and a clear understanding of the project in order to be able to distribute the work effectively. AI could be in a unique position to analyze a situation, learn from the situation, and understand (based on what it learns about the work itself and the people doing that work) how best to distribute the work in a way that keeps everyone busy but not overwhelmed, and able to break down the work to such a precise degree that you would (for example) almost never run over a budget on a software project.
